It was immediately followed by another batch composed of 25 AFC members from regions 4-B, 5, 6, 7 and 8 or the Luzon B-Visayas Cluster, who came together at the Aklan State University in Banga, Aklan on June 14 to 16.<\/p>\n<p>PCAF\u2019s Partnership Development Division (PDD)-Volunteers Management Section Chief Conchita del Rosario presented the AFC Manual of Operations which contains their roles, responsibilities, limitations and benefits as new volunteer-partners of the Department of Agriculture (DA) from the countryside.<\/p>\n<p>The orientation would ensure that all new members have a common and shared understanding on the department, the agency and the council.<\/p>\n<p>In the two separate events, PCAF\u2019s PDD Assistant Division Chief Soledad Bernardo emphasized to the new AFCs the importance of people participation and of being a servant leader.<\/p>\n<p>The new AFC members were also familiarized on the programs and projects of the DA, its attached agencies and bureaus at the regional, provincial and municipal level.<\/p>\n<p>One of their responsibilities stressed during the Luzon and Visayas orientations is the need to conduct meetings regularly. According to PDD, these meetings provide venue for discussion and resolutions of issues and concerns in the grassroots level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese meetings serve as consultations about the issues from your home provinces. As AFCs, you can formulate policy recommendations, resolutions through a council to address these issues and concerns,\u201d said PDD-Social Mobilization Section Chief Floreliz Avellana during the Luzon A Cluster orientation.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the Luzon A and Luzon B-Visayas Clusters, the Mindanao Cluster which includes regions 9, 10, 11, 12, Caraga and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao will conduct their orientation in September. <strong>-JC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Months after the launch of the recruitment period of new members of the Agricultural and Fishery Council (AFC), the òòò½ÊÓÆµ (PCAF) commenced the first and second leg of the island-wide orientations of the newly recruited AFC members.
